Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/C++ 2.0.4 is the next development milestone of the MySQL
Connector/C++ 2.0 series. Connector/C++ 2.0 can be used to access MySQL
implementing Document Store or in a traditional way, using SQL queries.
It allows writing both C++ applications using X DevAPI or plain C
applications using XAPI.

To learn more about how to write applications using X DevAPI, see X
DevAPI User Guide (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/x-devapi-userguide/en/) and
X DevAPI reference at
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-cpp/devapi_ref.html. For more
information about using plain C XAPI see XAPI reference at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-cpp/xapi_ref.html. For generic
information on using Connector/C++ 2.0, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-cpp/.

Note

Connector/C++ 2.0 requires MySQL Server version 5.7.12 or higher
with X Plugin enabled. For general documentation about how to get
started using MySQL as a document store, see Using MySQL as a Document
Store (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/document-store.html).

To download MySQL Connector/C++ 2.0.4, see the "Development Releases"

Changes in MySQL Connector/C++ 2.0.4 (2017-03-16, Development
Milestone)

Functionality Added or Changed

* Support was added for secure sessions over TLS
connections. A secure session can be requested either via
the ssl-enable and ssl-ca options of a connection string,
or using explicit session creation options. For X DevAPI
session settings, see

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-cpp/classmysqlx_1_1_session_settings.html.
For XAPI session settings, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-cpp/group__xapi.html
(check the documentation for enum mysqlx_opt_type_t).

* The format of document ID values generated when adding
documents to a collation has changed. It is still a
string of 32 hexadecimal digits based on UUID, but the
order of digits was changed to match the requirement of a
stable ID prefix.

* The X DevAPI Schema object now supports methods for view
manipulation: createView(), alterView(), and dropView().
XAPI now contains functions that implement similar
functionality: mysqlx_view_create(),
mysqlx_view_replace(), mysqlx_view_modify(), and
(implemented previously) mysqlx_view_drop().
As with other XAPI operations, there are functions that
create a statement handle without executing it:
mysqlx_view_create_new(), mysqlx_view_replace_new(), and
mysqlx_view_modify_new().
These XAPI functions modify view DDL statements before
execution: mysqlx_set_view_algorithm(),
mysqlx_set_view_security(),
mysqlx_set_view_check_option(),
mysqlx_set_view_definer(), and mysqlx_set_view_columns().

* Connector/C++ now supports IPv6 target hosts in
connection strings and when creating sessions using other
methods.

Bugs Fixed

* When rList is an empty list, table.insert().rows(rList)
caused a segmentation fault. (Bug #25515964)
